Product forms and how to use them
- Aerosols and pump sprays are best for treating clothing to get an even application. Don't over apply on clothing or skin—you don’t need to saturate or soak. More is not better.
- Liquids, creams, lotions, towelettes and sticks can be used to apply more precisely to exposed skin.
- Don't apply to skin under clothing unless the bugs are biting through the clothing. Don't apply to eyes, lips or mouth or over cuts, wounds or irritated skin.
- Don't apply more frequently than directed on the product label.
- DEET-based products are safe to use on cotton, nylon and other fabrics. Avoid spraying it on rayon, leather or plastics as it could cause surface damage.
- After your outdoor activity, wash repellent-treated skin with soap and water.
